Behind my smile
Behind my smile I've walked 10 thousand miles
Not letting anyone see i'm as frightened as a child
Behind my smile hold so much pain losing my best friend...my mother...my tears i refrain
Behind my smile i often wonder what does my future hold
In all my decisions as my life constantly unfolds
Behind my smile i hold anxiety and fear
Of letting others know my secret...my secret held dear
Behind my smile i always help others leaving myself till the end
I say its the bond with all of my true friends
Behind my smile i hold so much anger
Of letting my self down...Oh i wish i was stronger
Behind my smile i humbly hold knowledge
Thanks to all who believed in me i was able to finish college
Behind my smile i am a mother so proud
My kids are great...Amen ill shout it out loud
Behind my smile oh haven't you heard
They call it depression which one would think is absurd.
So when you look at someone's smile and think all is going so well walk 10 thousand steps in their shoes
At that time you too might have a secret to tell
